Hasn't she just put a bill through that will criminalise RNLI workers for saving asylum seekers should they be drowning in the sea? Not sure anyone but an actual psychopath could support that let alone dream it up.

I hope that if the England football team win on Sunday they boycott any drinks receptions or photo ops for the current government.

Awful woman.

Priti Patel is a bad human.

Baroness Farsi isnt showing any love for her on the last leg

That's it, Priti, Johnson and the Tories are done because Baroness Warsi who has a somewhat controversial past (depends how corbyn you are) has appeared on a late night chanel4 talk show. Lets wrap up and move on as OP is obviously vindicated.

DH’s brother used to work at Tory central office when she was a press officer there, her having recently defected from Jimmy Goldsmith’s Referendum Party.

Let’s just say, from what he’s told us, that the general consensus about her on this thread seems to be in no way wide of the mark. In fact it probably overstates her positive qualities.

This is becoming more peak MN by the minute, we have now moved onto anecdotal evidence after an elevation of a channel 4 late night talk show.

This is really highlighting how MN is filled with the middle class educated...

We’ll you could always just sod off to the Mail Online comments pages…

‘This is really highlighting how MN is filled with the middle class educated...’

Is there something wrong with being educated? Is this the whole ‘we’ve had enough of experts’ crap again? I for one am glad that even our government realise educated people like Witty and Vallance are necessary.

The educated middle classes have as much right to an opinion as a non educated person.

It’s amazing how all the accusations of racism and misogyny come flying out when anyone criticises Patel, while any level of insult is fine when it’s Diane Abbott. How anyone can defend a politician who believes in the death penalty is beyond me.

Priti patel Is hated by the left doesn't fall into their racist trope that non white people can't be Tories. Good on her and she is right. Football is coming home!

@PicsInRed

Sort of get where you are coming from ...

The Tories inc Patel, are at 41% compared to Labour on 32%

Clearly, despite her abhorrent views and hypocrisy, she is popular throughout the country.

Her plan to send migrants to Rwanda for "processing" is an extremely popular policy throughout the country.

Patel doesn't operate in a bubble, she is very much supported by Johnson and the cabinet.

Remember "Protect the Pritzer" from Bojo, when she faced bullying allegations?

Really glad to see when it comes to the polls these peak woke mumsnetters are in a tiny minority. Keep wringing your hands and wiping away you tear smudged makeup. I'm finally glad we have a home secretary prepared to actually enforce immigration controls good on her and I will support even tougher measures.

Look at the incident involving Damien Meads studio. Understand this isn’t about being woke. This is about fascism.

Immigration and asylum are not synonymous. Remember little Alan Kurdi.

We need immigrants to do the jobs the British won’t or can’t do. We need their youth. We need their skills. Are you happy with increasingly empty shelves in supermarkets and rapidly increasing inflation? Are you happy that NHS access is reducing because we don’t have doctors or nurses? Do you have any teeth and do you want dentists?

Is it only brown people you have a problem with?

What tougher measures would you suggest? Anyone that isn’t pure bred, aryan, indigenous being interred? I can’t believe we have MPs talking about indigenous populations.

At what point does political control, lack of human rights, increased police powers and control become unacceptable?

£370,000 spent defending her bullying could have been used far more effectively.

We need immigrants to do the jobs the British won’t or can’t do. We need their youth. We need their skills

Too damned right we do. The UK birthrate is falling every year and the group in which it’s falling fastest is white British. We need skilled immigrants and we need their children.

That is a Ponzi scheme requiring ever increasing population. No doubt we will need more to provide care for them in old age. How much of the country are we prepared to build over to house them, or rely on external counties to feed them? I would like to see the population fall to s sustainable level.

Is it only brown people you have a problem with?

Oh the classic racism accusation which the woke use to attack and shut down debate they don't agree with. As it stands i thought Patel wasn't exactly white but I am here supporting her. I have an issue with immigration having lived in an area massively changed by white immigration from Europe. So she has my full support in reducing immigration.

I would like to see the population fall to s sustainable level.

It’s falling to an unsustainable level all by itself. And of course the country should look after people who have been taxpayers for decades - why on earth wouldn’t it?

Lovely simple rhetoric. What does it mean in real terms? Particularly given asylum and immigration are not synonymous.

What do you mean by sustainable? It’s a Tory and UKIP fallacy that she is sorting immigration. Brexit has made it worse, far worse as many fewer people are moving to the EU nations. Unfortunately these tend to be retirees most often who will pretty soon place increased demand on a health service no longer staffed by those immigrants.

A very few tragic people in inflatable boats makes good Daily Mail and Farage scaremongering pictures, but they are not making much difference to numbers.

The latest numbers show net migration has risen to its highest level since March 2016, when the figure was an estimated 326,000. In the 12-month period to March 2020 around 715,000 people moved to the UK and around 403,000 people left the country.

So no EU nationals stealing our jobs? Good thing there are queues of British people waiting to pick farm produce and staff our hospitals and care homes then. No rotting veg unable to be picked or transported. No nursing shortages. No empty supermarket shelves.

Do explain what stronger measures you’d take? Perhaps do away or reduce benefits to a few vouchers for out of date food to make people work in undesirable jobs? Curious how this would work?

There's far too many people in the UK (particularly the south east of England) and the population will only continue to explode.

However, the issue is people living longer. We therefore need more people of working age to look after them and to pay the bills (tax etc).

@RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat

Shouldn't your title read

...is pri'i a fuckin' hypocri'

That woman literally murders the English language

I bet you’d murder Gujarati in half the time. English isn’t obviously her first language. So subtly don’t make it about her race. That’s not the point and that comment makes YOU a ***

Having said that I agree Ms Patel is a morally bankrupt woman and a bully. It has nothing to do with her first language.

She was born in London so I don’t think you can make that one fly.

Absolutely about needing young workers.

We aren’t actually that high up the population density ratings though - we come about 50th behind the USA, Netherlands, Japan, Belgium and Israel as well as more obvious listings.

Sorry have a i missed something, what is wrong with her tweet I don't understand, genuinely
